Early 1920 Blueprints

[Guest JoeD.]

I was hoping that I could get some information on some old

blueprints that I own. The dates from the revisions on the prints

range from 1919 to 1923. The prints range in size from

2 X 5 feet to 9 X 11 inches. Most of the prints say drawn

by Goodwin on them. Some are labeled Chevrolet, some by Dodge brothers.

The prints are overall in decent condition some worse than others. Also are they worth anything? I've framed one of them but to frame them all it would be over $1000 would it be worth it? Any info would be apperciated, Thanks.

These are certainly valuable from an historic standpoint. Framing can result in fading and mold, so it's not always a great way to preserve papers. May I suggest you contact Chris Ritter at the AACA Library to see if they would be interested? I'm thinking they could arrange to get good digital scans of these blueprints so they will be preserved. You could then retain the originals, if you wish.
